Album Cover

If anyone happens to see this who is able to help me out with Wikipedia's guidelines on non-free content and how to upload and defend such an image, any advice would be greatly appreciated! At the moment I'm just leaving this on the talk page for this draft as it's not urgent, but as the article nears completion I will likely ask somewhere else as well.

For AfC reviewer: Yes, there's a missing image at the moment, I will upload it if/when the article is approved because of the non-free content guidelines. Pupsterlove02 (talk) 14:23, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pupsterlove02, here is my review. The article meets newness and length requirements, QPQ is not required. I don't feel like the hook is directly supported by the sources used. The Super Deluxe Edition source reveals the complaints in 2013, and the Omnivore one gives a 2014 release date for the album. Nothing confirms a re-release due to a series of mistakes. It's a slight concern that there is a verification tag on the article too. Can you work to find a direct source for this, or write a different hook? Thanks, Rcsprinter123 (talk) 16:32, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll see if I can find other sources to better support my claim. From what I remember (it's admittedly been a while since I worked on this), I had found a handful of other sources that supported my claim, but they were all a bit iffy. I'll look for something better. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 22:05, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Rcsprinter123: I actually haven't been able to find anything to support that first hook, so feel free to disregard that, although the alternate given should still work and I've provided another as well. I managed to find another, somewhat more reliable source to support the issues, which I gave in the alternate hook above. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 00:04, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for replying. I will have to confess that I completely missed your ALT1 yesteday, and I don't know why. However, I do think the new ALT2 is more interesting. I will take the offline source in good faith and give you a GTG, ALT2. Rcsprinter123 (confabulate) 11:53, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article is tagged as needing more citations. Yoninah (talk) 17:19, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to look for more, although I've done the rounds of looking for sources several times and it's difficult. I've already included all of the sources I can find (with one exception, a book from Lulu.com that I took no info from) on the album. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 20:21, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Added sources and a quote to the article, not sure if verification tag can/should be removed. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 00:19, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pupsterlove02: thank you for adding all those cites, but I think the refimprove tag is referring to the body of the article. I have added "citation needed" tags to show you where cites are probably needed. I notice that on other articles such as Fun in Space and Strange Frontier, there are no cites at all. Perhaps liner notes could be used as sources. Yoninah (talk) 10:06, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Some kind of source is also needed for all those personnel. Yoninah (talk) 10:09, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: Added more citations to remove citation needed tags and reworded the one claim I couldn't find a citation for, added some personnel sources as well (guidelines on WP:PERSONNEL made me think that wasn't necessary, I suppose it doesn't hurt though). Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 14:15, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your extra effort! No close paraphrasing seen in new citations. Restoring tick per Rcsprinter123's review. Yoninah (talk) 15:07, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
